While it's not quite as good as John Powell's, I think Kamen's score is easily the second best of the X-Men scores (in fact, thinking about it, only those two plus to an extent Beltrami's are anything other than awful). I would love to hear the fabled original score he wrote, if only to find out if the rumours about it are really true. And by sheer coincidence, I wrote a little review of the old album recently: http://www.movie-wave.net/x-men/

Does anyone now whether Kamen's initial ideas were recorded, and exist, before the intervention of the Fox executives? Though I have no first-hand information, someone on this board (I think Erik Woods?) confirmed two weeks ago that Kamen's "original" score was recorded before he was asked to "re-spot" large portions of it. I can confirm that. But I don't think he recorded ALL of the music before having to 'shift gears'.

Who runs Music From the Movies? I saw a blurb online that back when the score was recording, they did an interview with Kamen. Surely there might be some answers there. It looks like most, if not all, of the interviews were removed from the MFtM website.

According to some information from FSM at the time, Kamen did a number of themes which were not liked by the producers, then there was a rushed production schedule which didn't leave much time to fix things. FSM had said some other people were called into to add the techo elements, but I read an interview with Kamen where he said he called in Badelt to help out (and didn't say there was anyone else).

Good news. Now lets hope this means X3 Complete is coming down the road! The original release was already on the long side and wasn't the best listening experience, so need for an expansion. K-Men's X-men would be nice though. Shame we have to wait for a year
